Veteran bikes to raise awareness

Scot King's vision is to help make life better for our combat wounded men and women and their families.

Monday, Scot King, made a stop right here in Helena. King is president and founder of the Remember the Wounded ride. He’s peddling his bicycle to the Capitals of the lower 48 states to raise awareness and support for combat wounded veterans and their families. He’s also educating the public as to the effects of war on the American family. King himself is a military veteran and hopes to raise a lot of money for the cause.

"Our goal is to raise, within the next two years, to raise a million dollars to help support these families and you know, help them get through these hard times," says King.
